Work is under way to prevent pollution after an inferno on a superyacht carrying around 8,000 litres of fuel, which later sank

Torquay-based musician David Balmer, 58, said the sinking raised fresh concerns about fuel on the boat leaking into the water.

After the yacht went under, the case was handed over to the harbour master and the Environment Agency . Grace Kedzior-Macdonough, 20, was visiting the seaside town with her partner when she heard "bangs or explosions" coming from the harbour.
